Congrats to @MolinesArthur and @rikkigarner for the great opportunity to organize a session on this exciting field.

If you have a story that changes the way we think about the cytoplasm, submit an abstract for a talk at our @ASCBiology 2022 Special Interest Subgroup session "Physical Biology of the Cytoplasm". Trainees and underrepresented minorities are especially encouraged to apply!

What happens when you allow your postdoc to go to a MBL course on modeling. Big congrats to @MolinesArthur and @rikkigarner from Theriot lab for developing this intriguing new story on heterogeneity of the cytoplasm. Will it change how we think about diffusion in cells?
Think the cytoplasm is well-mixed? Think again. In my latest work with @MolinesArthur and @fredchanglab we found the apparent viscosity of the cytoplasm may vary up to 100-fold (!) within individual cells, and 10-fold (!) between cells. A thread: (1/8) biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
